Frequently asked questions

The questions players and parents ask most often about ChessPD.

What is ChessPD?

ChessPD is a chess tournament Prize Distribution platform built for arbiters, organizers, and players. It replaces the macro-heavy Excel sheet most arbiters fight with, and turns the entire prize distribution into a guided five-step workflow that finishes within a minute of the last round's standings landing on your laptop.

Who is ChessPD built for?

ChessPD is built for the three people every tournament needs: the arbiter who runs the prize distribution, the organizer who pays the prizes, and the player who wants to see their result. Arbiters do the heavy lifting in the workspace; organizers see clean reports they can hand to sponsors; players open a public results page and find their slot in seconds.

Do I need to be tech-savvy to use ChessPD?

No. ChessPD is built for chess arbiters who have never touched a database, written a formula, or read documentation. If you can run a tournament in Swiss Manager and open a spreadsheet, you can run ChessPD. Every screen is in plain English, the steps are numbered one to five, and the system tells you what to do next.

How fast is prize distribution on ChessPD?

Within one minute of the last round's Swiss Manager standings landing on your laptop, your prize sheet is ready — winners assigned, reasons written, PDF and Excel exports waiting. Three of the five steps (tournament setup, prize configuration, and category filters) can be finished before the tournament starts or any time during the rounds, so when the last round ends, you are minutes away from publishing.

What is the five-step workflow on ChessPD?

Step 1 — set up your tournament and events. Step 2 — build the prize configuration (categories, prizes, awards). Step 3 — define which players go into which category. Step 4 — upload the final Swiss Manager standings and generate winners. Step 5 — review, export, and publish. Steps 1, 2, and 3 can be done before or during the tournament; only Step 4 needs the final standings file.

What is the “Reason” column on the prize sheet?

Every winner on ChessPD has a one-line written explanation of why they won this prize and not another — which category they qualified for, which rule placed them there, and how any tie was settled. Arbiters point to it during disputes; players read it to understand a result; sponsors see a transparent record they can publish. Most prize sheets in chess do not have this; ChessPD makes it standard.
